Tribecas Secret CompoundA filmmakers and architects impossible Manhattan estateWhere history, architecture, and imagination meet. Tucked on Tribecas most iconic block, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a magical piece of NYC history. Something that doesnt exist anywhere: a private compound comprised of a townhouse, private parking, and a 2500sf creative space.Staple Streets narrow sidewalks, iron details, and brick faades absorb the citys energy and reflect it back more quietly: distinctly Tribeca.A Rare Urban CompoundBuilt in 1868, the 2-story brick townhouse at 4 Staple Street was a cast-iron storefront and workshop then reborn as a single-family home designed by award-winning architect Diana Kellogg that beautifully blends industrial authenticity with modern refinement.The idea of a family compound is unheard of in Manhattan.-a 40-foot-wide, 4,100 sf townhouse w/ potentially available air rights of 3 additional stories (3,000 sf)-2 to 3 private, gated parking spaces (w/ electric power)-2,500 sf of studio, office, wine cellar, and storage space at 1 Jay Street across the streetTogether, they form something truly singular: a self-contained urban estatepart home, part atelier, part sanctuary.The Street: A Scene Out of Another EraStaple Street is only two blocks long, quiet and impossibly cinematic. The cast-iron skybridge that spans it has become the most photographed architectural feature in Tribeca. Staple Street is a living gallery; the quiet lane has hosted everything from impromptu performances to Banksys first New York piece. The setting feels less like downtown Manhattan and more like a hidden European passage; a place where history, privacy, and artistry converge.The ResidenceInside, the home radiates romance and industrial beauty: soaring brick-vaulted ceilings, original chestnut beams, exposed brick, and oversized windows flooding each level with natural light.-Main Floor: 13' ceilings, open living/dining anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, built-ins, and a chefs kitchen with custom cabinets made from reclaimed Coney Island lockers. A windowed nook offers space for breakfast, reading, or work. -Primary Level: 11' ceilings, a tranquil sitting area leading to the primary suite with vaulted ceilings, walk-in closet, and ensuite bath featuring a marble sink from the original Ritz-Carlton Hotel. A flexible secondary room and second full bath complete the floor.-Roof Terrace: a 1,000 sf deck overlooking the skybridge: an intimate retreat that feels utterly private.-Lower Level: 11'-6" ceilings, a media den and guest suite with full bath, laundry, and abundant storage.-Throughout: central air, baseboard heat, and thoughtful detailing at every turn.*Potentially available air rights for up to 3 additional floorsThe Creative AnnexAcross Staple Street sits the annex component: an ideal studio, gallery, office, or guest facility. A discreet entrance at 1 Jay Street opens to a reception area, leading down to 2,000+ sf of windowed offices with kitchenette and bath. Private & gated parking spaces adjoin: an unheard-of luxury downtown.A Life Both Private and ConnectedMoments from Hudson River Park, Soho boutiques, and Tribecas dining, this property offers absolute privacy. 4 Staple Street has long been a home for artistic endeavors and creative salons, hosting luminaries from film, art, literature, and technology.A fragment of New Yorks cultural and industrial past reimagined for modern life filled with creativity and calm. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of living history: a true downtown compound.Residential yearly tax bill 4 Staple Street $50,106.88Office space 67 Hudson yearly tax bill $13,774.28CC for Office space and parking - monthly $886.86
